This has impacted on the surrounding residents and Police have become involved due to illegal parking and community complaints.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are other car parks at the site and if the correct signage / barrier could be applied drivers could be redirected and the problem could be overcome.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The purpose of this trial will be to ascertain if sensors placed in the car parking bays could accurately report back on the number of vehicles in the car park and to then prevent a control barrier opening until sufficient vehicles leave. This will prevent the access road becoming jammed and if linked to electronic boards could additionally redirect motorists to alternative parking locations.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The problem is that if we control access to the park then we may have an unexpected and unwelcome consequence that being to block access to the residential properties via queuing cars.
